HARTFORD >> Hartford police are investigating the death of a man they believe was shot while sitting in a car.

Deputy Chief Brian Foley tells the Hartford Courant the man was discovered Friday morning, in a grassy lot at the corner of Maple Avenue and Bond Street. Foley says he was apparently sitting in the vehicle when shots were fired. He says police believe “he got out of the car, ran and collapsed.”

The man, who appears to be in his 20s, was taken to Hartford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
